RUMORED AT EDMONTON
That Brltlah Columbia Lumbermen Are
Resolved to Raise Prices Again
At Ones.
Edmonton, April 27.���Unofficial, but
at the ssme time thoroughly reliable advices have been received from Vancouver to the effect that the British Columbia lumber manufacturers have decided
to advance the price of lumber again.
The mountain lumbennena* manufacturing association have decided to make
the following advances:
Dimensions timber and boards, advance, $2 per thousand; shlplaps, $1 to
$2 per thousand.
The British Columbia lumber and
shingle manufacturers' association
have also given notice of an advance of
20 cents a square on shingles. The reason advanced to Justify the whereases
are comparatively small log-cut, the
scarcity of and higher price of labor,
car shortage and the unprecedented demand for building material to meet the
requirements of the building trade.

FIELDING'S NEW EXCUSE
Practice Unanimously Condemned
Two Yean Ago b Row General and Undisguised.
Ottawa, April 27.���Less than two
years ago the house of commons adapted tbe fallowing resolution:
"Thst whilst It is desirable that every
official ln the employ of the government
of Canada should enjoy every freedom
of political opinion and the untrammelled exercise of his franchise in accord
therewith, no official should be engsged
or permitted to engage In partizan work
of any description in the election of a
representative to the provincial or Dominion legislatures."
This motion was moved by Mr. Lake
of Qu'Appellle, a Conservative, and was
supported by Sir Wilfrid Laurler and
carried without a dissenting vote. Sir
Wilfrid's speech was a distinct pledge
tbat the government would not allow
its officers to engage ln partisan work.
Yet ln the session following numerous
Instances were given of party activity by
Western officials during the provincial
elections. The same thing happened
later in the Federal elections, and especially where Mr. Fielding, Sir Wilfrid's lieutenant, was a candidate and
personally conducted his own campaign.
It was shown this session that Mr.
Fielding was actively and sometimes
offensively assisted by numerous public
officials during the by-election of 1906
following his unseating for corrupt
practices during the general election.
It is established by affidavit that an
Important fishery officer travelled with
Mr. Fielding from place to place, canvassing on bis behalf, represented him
at the poll, and Interviewed doubtful
electors with the result thst tbey refused to take the bribery oath when
they came to the poll. Mr. Fielding
accepted this man's services and made
him bis agent notwithstanding his
own pledge of 1905. Besides Mr. Bain
there was a lighthouse keeper, equally
active as a campaign manager, and also
a representative of Mr. Fielding at the
poll. There was a custom house officer
who,held a poll and Is accused of acting in a very partizan manner, going so
far ss to strike the Conservative scrutineer. Mr. Fielding's agent at Port Clyde
was the postmaster, who was also a
delegate to the party convention. Another postmaster, a fishery Inspector,
another fishery officer, a second collector of customs, a harbor master, two
other postmasters and still another fishery officer were actively engaged in this
one riding during Mr. Fielding's election
campaign. It was all done in the plain
view and with the approval of the minister himself.
These facts were shown ln a discussion on Monday Introduced by Mr.
Borden. The leader of the opposition
set forth the facts and also the resolution of the House above quoted. He
closed his speech with a motion expressing regret that the government had
sanctioned and condoned the violation
of the resolution by officials " wbo notwithstanding such deliberate violation
have been continued ln positions of
public trust and responsibility and in
the enjoyment of salary paid from the
public exchequer."
Mr. Luke supporting the motion, gave
a long list of Instances in the West
where officials took part ln campaigns
Mr. Boyce of Algoma furnished several
examples, Including that of the postmaster of Thessalon, a vigorous politician who became a defaulter In the
department, was discharged and reappointed and still holds the office, receiving a salary of over $1000 and giving much of his time to private business contrary to the declared rule of
the department. A postmaster at Copper Cliff, reported for corrupt practices
at the election, Is retained In offlce at
a salary of over $1,700, while 500 residents have petitioned for his removal.
The Indian agent af Sault St. Marie
held the notorious poll at Mlchlplcoten,
which he had no right to do, and allowed the whole buman cargo of the
"Mlnnje M." to go 'up and vote with no
questions ssked.
To these and otber Instances, some
of which Mr. Foster produced, Mr. Fielding had only one reply. He pleaded
tbat many of these officers, and especially those who lnterferred ln his
own election, were not drawing from
the government sufficient salary to
maintain them, but were only partly
dependent on their offices for a living,
though as a matter of fact some of
them received ss much as $700. Thus
Mr. Fielding declares that the resolution of 1905 applies to only about one-
twentieth of public officials.
Nothing was said about salary limit
when the House declared tbat no officer
should be allowed to take part ln campaigns. Sir Wilfrid made his pledge
respecting all offlce holders. There waa
no such exemption In the mind of the
government after 1894 wben they dismissed rural postmasters and petty
officials, earing $25 and $50 a year.
Scores of such officers were turned out
for simply expressing an opinion about
politics or for cheering at a public
meeting. But Mr. Fielding now authorizes all officers who do not live entirely on their public position to throw
themselves Into an election campaign
with all possible vigor. Only their activity must be on the government side,
For Mr. Fielding distinctly stated that
the officer must share the fate of his
party If he were active on the wrong
side. This Is an encouragement to nine-
tenths of the officials to do their best
for the party In power ln by-elections
and practically makes the great majority of the offices political spoil.
Mr. Borden's motion waa, of course,
rejected by a straight party vote.
MORE TROUBLE IN MORROCCO.
Ralsuli's Emissaries Preach Holy War
Against Sultan.
Tangier, April 27���The bandit Raisull and the pretender Hainan have
sent out a number of clever, semi-religious agitators to foment a revolt against

likely to result in widespread rebellion.
Despatches .received here from Caaa

Rochester, N. Y��� April 27.���Dominic
Funino, charged with the murder of
Camllle, was last night found guilty of
murder in the second degree, and will
be sentenced on Wednesday. This was
one of the shortest homicide trials la
Munroe county. The jury was out an
hour.
NEW MIUTARY PUNS
Bureau of Information New Proposed
Instead of General Staff for
British Empire.
London, April 27.���The draft resolution respecting defence "military" was
discussed Saturday. It waa as follows:
"Thst this conference welcomes cordially and approves tbe exposition of the
general principles embodied In the
statement of the secretary of state for
war and without wishing to commit any
governments represented, recognises
and affirms the forces of the Empire
as a whole, which shall study military
science In all its branches, shall collect
and disseminate to various governments, military Information and intelligence, shall undertake the preparation
of schemes for defence on a common
principle and without in the least lnter-
ferrlng In questions connected with
command or administration; shall at request of respective governments advise
as to training, education and war or
ganizatlon of the military forces of the
crown In every part of the Empire. At
today's sitting of the conference Uie
foregoing resolution agreed upon
means there will be no monetary contributions for the creation ot tho central staff on which self-governing dependencies can be represented lf they
so choose.
Sir F. Borden stated there was not
an atom ot truth ln the statement made
In the Express and corroborated ln the
Standard that an Imperial army Is to
life created, in Canada maintaining 45,-
000 men, and the other colonies proportionately; he also knew nothing of Gen.
Botha's proposal ot a resolution regarding a central staff. It meant ln the practical aspect not a great deal more than
was being done at present Referring
to the Interchange of taft officers, etc.,
it was not binding on anyone.

Lahore, British India, April BT.���
Rllles ud 20 pounds of ball cartridges
have been served out to the local Volunteers ln consequence of signs .of niarked
unrest among the Hindu student element. The public printing of inflammatory and seditious articles la newspapers inciting race hatred against Europeans and demanding native -control
of the government of India by means of
an Indian parliament have been followed recently by riots here and elsewhere in the Punjab, and by attacks on
Europeans. Professional and political
agitators are now fomenting strikes on
the railroads, and the government has
concluded that lt ls time to suppress the
rioting by means of torse, It necessary.
The authorities are satisfied that a
determined front wllll speedily end the
outward sign ot disaffection, especially
as they have the unanimous support of
the great Mohaaunedan population.
Mass meetings have emphatically condemned the anti-European movement
Recent events have given a remarkable
Impetus to the enlistment ln the volunteers. The recruits Include live judges
of the supreme court, the director ot
public instruction, professors, eight government officers, bankers aad merchants, all of whom have entered the
ranks as privates.
RESULT OF EXPERIENCE.
Englishman la Canada Offers Advice tn
Intending Settlers-
The London Daily Mall has Issued _,
hand-hook of useful Information and advice to Intending emigrants to Canada.
In the advice la a letter from aa
Englishman at Winnipeg, which la "by
no means the least valuable part of tha
book. The letter la as followi:
"Being an Englishman, I look with
pleasure on the growth ot British Immigration In Canada. It ls because I
have a sort of brotherly feeling towards
my own that I venture to offer a little
advice ln tha way of "Dont's." No
Englishman need take any offence at
what I say, as I am a fellow countryman, and a patriotic one, too, therefore,
I can speak freely. ���
"Don't when you arrive In Canada,
try to Impress the people how much
better they do things In England. It Is
a mistake that la frequently made by
new-comers.
"Don't talk about your station tn life,
especially lf you have any titled relations. The Canadians do not care a
rap for pedigree.
"Don't try to convince people that you
can show them a better way of working things ln Canada, bnt remember

"Don't it you axe on the farm, see
how little you can do for your wag-as,

offer larger wages to secure your services.

"Above all DON'T brag about being

APRIL 37. 1907.
THE GOVERNMENT'S DEFENCE.
ll is an old Baying thai when a lawyer luis no case his safest policy Is to
abuse the opposing counsel. The con-
verse is almost Invariably true. Ths*
contestant who does nothing but abuse
his opponent tacitly confesses that he
has no case.
For many years now but especially
since the general elections of 1904 the
Dominion government lias been accused
of wholesale offenceis against honor and
honesty.
The charges have included all forms
of corruption before and during elections, bribery of Individuals, classes
and whole constituencies, ballot
"switching" and ballot-box stuffing, personating of absentees and dead men,
and even of countenancing lbe manufacture or Importation and use of ballot
boxes specially designed to facilitate
election frauds.
Every one of these charges has been
proved In election courts. A few of ths;
meaner tools have bssen punished In
short terms of Imprisonment The
worst criminals, the party chiefs whs,
procure such work to be done, are uevei
reached.
The only reply vouchsafed by Liberal ministers to such charges even
after they are proved, is the brazen Impudence of "Tu quoque." When It waJ
shown that Charles Hyman's last election in London had been accomplished
by the use of every conceivable corrupt
means, tho answer given In the Liberal
press and on the platform, and even
urged privately, was that tbe London
Beat was once, In IStl, wrongfully
taken from the Liberals by a partisan
county court Judge, and they were jus
tilled In "getting even."
The reply to the exposure of the
means by which Mr. Fielding achieved
his signal triumph In Nova Scotia In the
lBst election, is tbat the Conservative
Association of Nova Scolia is also trying to raise a campaign fund.
The often promised legislation, by
way of amendment to the Elections Acl,
lo prevent corruption in elections, Is
promised again for next year, at what
will probably be the last session of the
present parliament. No one, Conservative or Liberal, believes that a genuine
measure of reform, such as will even
hamper the work of the machine will
be passed on the eve of another campaign.
Hut Ihe reply that their opponents
also have been guilty, an absurd defence, even when it Is true, will not
avail as an answer to olher charges-
charges that are urged aa persistently
and as vehemently by men whose political independence is unquestioned, as
by the Conservative opposition.
Abuse of the opposition Is never a
valid defence for an administration. In
this case It Is supremely ridiculous. Tho
Conservative party of Canada haa been
out of pfiice for nearly 11 years. All
their offences as administrators must
have been committed before 1896.
The record of the Conservative party
while In office bears two stains, the
Pacific scundal of 1873, and the Public
Works Department scandals in 1891.
No attempt was made by the party as
a whole to suppress the fuels In ��� "n-
neciion with either, and the honor ol
parliament and of the country, were
vindicated, as Ooldwln Smilh has pointed out, by the defeat of the iiarty.
What measure of defeat to the Laurler regime will now serve to vindicate
the honor of parliament and country?
These latter years huve seen crimes
committed by the government collec-
tllvely and by ministers Individually
that were never conceived of under
Tory rule.
W. T. K. Preston, a convicted���Indeed
a self-confessed author and leader of
corruption, Is still in the public service
of the Dominion.
Ministers who are accused of misconduct grosser than that which has driven
others into private life, aro still In the
cabinet and even taken to London as
representative of Canada.
Frauds have been proved in the departments of the interior, of railways,
of public works, and of militia and de-
fence. No one has suffered for them.
They will continue.
But the gravest Indictment of all, the
offence that strlkeB at the most vital
part of the nation, is the degradation of
the bench.
No one could ever SOCUSO Sir John
Macdonald or his successors of an unworthy appointment to such high ami
responsible ofllce. Eminent and hssnssr-
able barristers only were eligible In
those days, and tbelr party affiliations
did not matter.
since ism; no Conservative has been
appointed to the bench, and of the ns'w
Judges it is true of more than half dial
their appointment is only jtistltiabli* by
frank acceptance of tbe spoils system,
applied to tlie bench as well ns to every
other brunch of public service.
These are things Hint cannot be answered by recriminations. There Is a
day of atonement ahead.
While It Is the hope of all thai, the
labor troubles ln the coal Holds of Kootenay ami Alberta may be speedily settled, nothing can be gained by announcing a settlement before one ls reached.
There Is room for serious doubt whether
the miners will vote to return to work
pending tlle decision of the conciliation
board. There is also every possibility
that they will finally refuse to accept
the decision of the majority of the
board. As we have pointed out before,
a fludlng against the operators can bo
enforced by law, while a finding against
the men is of no effect. Nearly all are
unattached and can move at less than
a day's notice to other fields. Something else ls necessary to secure the
steady operation of coal mines on
whose product all the Industries of an
Important district ore so directly dependent.
Possibly a debt of gratitude Is owing
by those who believe in education and
in Nelson to those who have forced delay ln the submission to the property
owners of a bylaw to raise the necessary funds for a new public school
building. It Is becoming more apparent every day that public opinion is
overwhelmingly In favor of a new
school, so much so that the opponents
dare not oppose It on general grounds.
The specious pretence of opposition to
the sum of $60,000 on the ground that
a smaller sum would suffice might have
Influenced a few had the presentation
of the bylaw been hurried. 'The time
given for consideration will enable all
to see lhat the answer ls disingenuous,
and, coming from those who have no
knowledge of the cost of material or
labor, palpably absurd.
The new executive of the 20,000 Club
has a heavy task. There ls no use disguising the fact that there has been financial mlsmangenient. W. H. Jones*
expression of the hope that hereafter
"when funds have been appropriated
for a specific purpose tbey will slay appropriated" Is amply justified. ��� At one
time last fall the amount required for
the new folders was reported 10 be "In
sight." Part of it was collected, but lt
Is no longer available, having been
spent to meet current accounts. Such
methods must not be followed In future
If the club is to retain that measure of
public confidence without which It
cannot live.

Loudon, April 27.���In view of de-
Bpatchea published here during the Inauguration of the Carnegie Institute at
Plttlburg, and generally credited to
Moberly Bell, of the London Times, in
which tho British government waa
criticised for not being officially repre-
���anted at fhe ceremony, und leaving
Germany to monopolize the most prominent position uniting thu foreign representatives, Foreign Secretary Grey
was questioned in the House of Commons this afternoon regarding the reason for this omission. Financial Secretary io lho Treasury Runclinun, on behalf of Sir Edward Grey, said lhat tho
Invitation of the Pittsburg ceremonies
had no official character. They were issued to the heads of foreign mtB&iona
only, and Ambassador Bryce, who had
then only jnst returned from Canada,
had important business to transact at
Washington, making it Impossible for
him.to absent himself, especially as he
had to attend the national arbitration

Continuing, Mr. Runcltnan pointed
out that neither tbe German, Austrian-
Hungarian, French, nor Russian embassies were represented at Pittsburg. Oxford and Cambridge universities were
represented, and Mr. Runciman thought
that the presence of representatives of
tlie leading educational Institutions of
this country was the most suitable and
most convenient form of representation on such an occasion.
Pittsburg, April 27.���Upon reading of
the incident ln the House of Commons
and Lords relative to the non-official
character of the foreign guests at the
dedication of the Carnegie Institute ln
thiB city on April 11, 12, and 13, Samuel
Harding Church, secretary of the board
of trustees of the institute, gave to the
Associated Press tonight a statement in
which he says: "I have just been Informed that a question was raised In
the House of Lords and Mouse of Commons today in regard to the non-ofllcial
character of tho Hritish group of guests
attending the dedication of the Carnegie Institute at Pittsburg. I waa very
careful to have this question brought
before the King of Great Britain and
his ministers, and also before the president of Prance.
"His Majesty King Edward VII notified me in a most gracious and considerate way that he did not think It entirely within the limit of official procedure to take an active participation In
the dedication, while the president of
France, probably for the aame reason,
wrote merely a formal letter of congratulation which waa signed by his
private secretary. The German Emperor exhibited the liveliest possible interest in the dedication, and with one exception the guests In attendance from
Germany were chosen directly by the
Emperor. However, tbe character of
guesta from Great Britain and France
was of the highest standard represented
by our civilisation, as waa that of Germany also."
WILL WELCOME KUROKI.
Japanese of Victoria Prepare Elaborate
Reception for General.
Victoria, April 27.���At a meeting of
Japanese residents of the city it waa decided to welcome General Kurokl, the
hero of the Vain, and hla staff, when
they arrive here on May lat, on their
way to the Jamestown Exposition. The
Japanese have decided to engage the
Filth Regiment band, which will be stationed on the ocean dock when the
Nippon Yusen Kaiaha liner Akl Maru is
km her way into port from Yokohama.
The Aki Maru ls due on Wednesday of
next week.
The band will probably play the
Jnpanese national anthem, the "Klral
ga yo," if the music can be secured. On
the occasion of tbe wedding of the
crown prince of Japan aome years ago
an entertainment was held tn the
A. O. U. W. Hall, on which occasion
Bandmaster Finn, then leading the regiment band, secured the music.
On arrival of the steamer the Japanese will invite the general and his
party to drive through the city and
suburbs. Consul Mamikawa and other
prominent Japanese from Vancouver
and Seattle are expected to meet the
party here.
Under instructions from Washington,
Lieut. Gen. MacArthur, the highest
ranking officer of the United States
army, who Is now in command of the
Pacific division, will arrive in Seattle
with hia staff to receive Gen. Kurokl.
Lieut. Gen. Klgosbi and the 12 other
officers of the Japanese army accompanying them. Gen. MacArthur will escort them to Washington, and from
there to the Jamestown Exposition.
General Kurokl, who is a mild-mannered, unassuming soldier. 63 years of
age, born of Samurai ancestors, in
southern Japan, won enviable distinction during the war between China and
Japan in 1895, at which time he commanded the Kumamoto division of the
army. It was under his command that
Welhaiwel was captured. When the war
between Russia and Japan broke out,
Gen. Kurokl was appointed commander
of the first army, and the series of successes which followed his defeat of the
Russians tn the battle of the Yalu are
familiar history.���Colonist.

of these buildings, including the old
Theatre Comique, on the evening of Victoria Day. This would not only be an
attraction to the celebration, but would
also remove buildings that have long
survived their usefulness.

house, to cost in the neighborhood of

opposite the Canadian hotel. The building will be 100 feet in depth by 45 feet
in width with a stage 24x45, and with

K, of P. Growing,
W. Irvine, grand chancellor of the
K. (.f P. for British Columbia, returned
last, evening from avlslt to the lodges
along the line of the Crow's Nest railway. The first place visited was Fer
nie. and here the grand chancellor was
pleased to learn that the order was In
a flourishing condition. At Cranbrook
he heard the same gratifying reports,
anil particularly was he pleased at Ihe
marked growth of the lodge at Moyle.
In the various places visited Mr. Irvine
was entertained royally by the brethern. Within a few weeks a new lodge
will be organized at Creston. The
grand chancellor was an interested
spectator of the meeting between the

Condemns Aid to British Immigrants-
Wants Frenchmen.
Montreal, April 27.���Mr. Henri Bourassa, M. P., for Labelle, delivered an
address on "Immigration" hofore Laval
studentq last evening aod criticised tho
federal government's policy In allowing
the transportation of ex-prlsoners, loafers and habliual drunkards from largo
cities In England, paying their travelling expenses from the mother country
to tho Northweat while on Ihe other
hand, government reports Indicated
that practically no money had been ex-
pended to foster an Immigration move,
ment among the peasants of Franco
and Belgium. Mr. Bourassa admitted
that English and Scotch farmers were,
perhaps, the best ImmlgrnntB that
Canada could desire, and his remarks
were warmly applauded by thoso present. The lecturer remarked thut this
did not excuse the policy of consider.
Ing that numbers counted for everything and pf ptiy going so much per
head for Immigrants Irrespective of tho
class to which they belonged.
